About
Higi is a consumer health platform that makes preventive health monitoring accessible and convenient. At the core of the platform are Higi Stations — FDA-cleared health kiosks placed in over 11,000 retail locations including grocery stores, pharmacies, and club stores — that allow users to take free blood pressure readings, check their weight, and complete health risk assessments without a doctor's visit. Users can sign up for a free Higi account to store and track their health numbers over time, identify trends, receive personalized health education, and connect to services from healthcare partners. The free Higi mobile app complements the station experience by letting users log in via QR code scan, view historical data, and access curated health content on the go. Higi also offers a Health Guide program available directly from the station, providing goal-based support, actionable tips, and motivational content tailored to individual needs. The platform serves a wide range of partners including hospitals and health systems, Medicare Advantage plans, Managed Medicaid plans, commercial health plans, retail pharmacies, and consumer healthcare brands — helping these organizations engage members and customers in preventive wellness. All stations are wheelchair accessible, available in English and Spanish, HIPAA compliant, and regularly calibrated for accuracy, making Higi a trustworthy and inclusive health monitoring solution for everyday consumers.
